Do people get intimidated by your build/size?

People can feel quite intimidated by me although I’m a gentle,passive sort of person . This is because I can get excitable when stressed and the level of my voices rises .This coupled with the fact I’m quite hefty tends to portray me as more intimidating than I really am. The reality is I am far more likely to be scared of others than others have a reason to be really scared of me.

The opposite, actually. I’m 4’11, so I’m not very intimidating physically. Even my bf isn’t like fazed, and he makes me hit him when I get peed off, so he knows I’m a very aggressive and angry person.

I hate it when people disengage their brains and automatically assume big and hefty= aggressive or likely to want to do you physical damage . It’s not as though I’m actually very strong and muscular anyway, just very overweight.

If you’re over 6’5" @ 240lbs, I’d consider you to be big.

I’m 5-11.5 and about 240 lbs. It’s all fat though with very little muscle. If I was 150 lbs I’d be quite wimpish.

I’m not intimidating to men, maybe to some women. my mom used to say she’d be afraid of me when I had long hair and a ungroomed beard.

I don’t think I get the vibe that most people are too intimidated by me. I’m 5’10.5’’ 206. Until a week ago I was about 212. I used to be much heavier though, 296 at my heaviest. Any time I’ve been involved with any sort of mental health call situation they use the restraints even though I cooperate and don’t attack anybody. Which I think is unfair and wrong.

I work out a little bit but I don’t have anywhere near bodybuilderish size, or even the size of most athletes.
I have maybe 10-12 more pounds of lean mass (not just muscle) than average.

I’m 6’1 and almost 270 lbs. People don’t mess with me anymore.

People get intimidated by how fat i am

I don’t think it’s necessarily intent people get worried about, it’s potential. I get scared when other people are angry. I don’t know their intent. I don’t know if they’re the type to brood or lash out, so for my own safety I assume the worst.

The thing is most of the time I get heated it’s because I’m frightened,stressed and struggling to cope.

Yes. Sometimes shorter men and women are intimidated by my height. I’m 5 foot 8 and a half. I’ve had lovers that have expressed disdain about my height.

Lol, I’m tiny, but have a stern face. I imagine I look quite unfriendly. In college I dress in a way that makes me seem like I either don’t know or don’t care (its the first one). Before sz I was 5’7 135lbs, even smaller in high school. That is small for an american male. I always liked being small, it made me feel like I was going against the status quo.

I’m pretty intimidating when I’m angry and when I switch to a more violent alter holy ■■■■■■■ ■■■■ yo

But it takes a lot to get me riled these days.

I got 1:81 and 100 kg… I look like a soldier even if it’s all fat, it is distributed equally on my body…
I think is better to be bigger, people respect bigger people and they are less likely to harm them because of the primitive brain we all use to have such saw the big as the powerfull

I’m 6’3 and 205lbs . Muscular build. Guys that say there 6ft 2 think I’m like 6’5 easy… That’s usually what they say :joy::joy::joy:

I think people see me as pretty docile due to my fluffiness
